could i have Fibro?

[meljenks]

Morning all,

I think i have fibromyalgia but the doctors think i don't.

I have many tender points all over my body (top of my arms, neck, shoulders, back, legs etc

the tender points hurts when i press then and when i dont, esp my left arm, it constantly aches and has point.

Im constantly tired, have headached, palpitation, flutters in chest, ectopic beats, feel dizzy/lightheaded, painall over my body (but some days im fine)

Thanks

mel, welcome sounds like fibro. but fibro can mimic a lot of things liks ms,lupus and other things.

start by looking at my post what is fibromyalgia and
starting a daily log book and why it helps.

they are under general discussions.

this will help you.

see a RA a RAs no longer use trigger or tender points to many of them on normal and fibro.

search docs and specialist i had to leave my town to find answers dont just stay with docs who refuse to

test or help your in charge. you need to see a neurologist for the headaches i was found to have a dying

gland not as scary as it sounds meds managed it but sever headaches migraines

you need more info and tests symptoms to random

Welcome Mel. Ask your Dr to do some blood tests to rule out everything else.if your Dr isn't much help try a different Dr.
Also I don't have any tender points but a lot of Dr still believe that means Fibro.
The Dr I use isn't the Dr I'm registered with, but because he study's Fibro I never see anyone else but him.
I'm in the UK to so I no u can see another Dr if u wish.
It's take some ppl months and months to find out what's wrong.so don't get down hearted ,if we can help we will.
